Chapter 3190: The Miserable Supreme Elder

Boom! Rumble!

Taishang Tian was in chaos, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring, presenting a scene of apocalyptic destruction.

Blood rained down from the sky.

Most of it was the blood of Taishang and Zizaitian, the two unfortunate allies, one in the east and one in the west, both getting hammered relentlessly.

Eternity wasn't frightening, but perfection was terrifying.

Whether it was Nüdi or Ye Chen and Zhao Yun, all had achieved perfection, making them immune to any laws.

Ah!

The skies were filled with Taishang's howls. Even with the laws of perfection, he was beaten beyond recognition.

In contrast, those at the level of eternity were mostly unscathed.

A perfected eternity was immortal and inexhaustible, undying and indestructible, with combat power rivaling that of Huangdi.

With such power, they fought without mercy, aiming to destroy.

Taishang was in utter misery, unable to withstand the assault. His divine body was dismantled multiple times, with blood and bones scattered across Taishang Tian.

His howls grew even more piercing, making all who heard them tremble in fear.

Especially the gods and demons in the opposing forces, whose hearts quivered and faces turned pale.

If things continued this way, Taishang would fall, and Zizaitian would fall too.

In that case, who in this universe could restrain eternity? Perhaps only Tiandao could intervene.

Compared to Taishang, Zizaitian was much quieter.

She didn't cry out, but her injuries were no lighter than his. Fighting alone, she had reached the brink of despair.

Pfft! Pfft!

Endless blood light burst forth, each drop laden with laws, falling and exploding on impact.

The divine realm suffered greatly, with countless star skies collapsing.

Yet, no one paid attention to that. All eyes were on Taishang Tian, watching the two gods being brutally hammered by eternity.

Shutan.

Kuang Yingjie stood with his hands tucked in, and if not for the eternal barrier blocking him, he would have jumped in to join the fun.

Shutan.

The gods in their own ranks all had faces full of satisfaction.

Awkward.

The Zhi Gao Shen coughed dryly. Watching the former Tiandao get beaten like this made them all feel uncomfortable.

This spectacle was embarrassing, leaving them with no face to save.

But the rules bound them; they couldn't interfere unless those fierce ones disrupted the cosmos.

Pfft!

As the gods watched, Zizaitian spat blood again, nearly split in two by Nüdi's sword.

However, her divine body reformed in an instant.

She was more mysterious than Taishang, likely due to her unique Dao, which hid a bloodline limit.

Unfortunately, it was useless.

Nüdi was overwhelmingly dominant, striding across the ages with a single eternal sword, shattering the bloodline.

"Must we fight to the death?" Zizaitian murmured lightly, still composed, her entire body glowing with a dreamlike divine light as she withstood the eternal assault.

"No path to heaven, no door to earth." Nüdi replied calmly. She had already self-severed a strike; if she didn't destroy them, how could she justify losing her Huangdi position? They had abandoned their roles as Tiandao and fallen into the mortal world, so they must pay the price in blood.

"Must we fight to the death?" Taishang howled the same words, seemingly driven to madness.

"No path to heaven, no door to earth." As expected of eternity, their responses were identical. Ye Chen hated Taishang, and Zhao Yun hated him just as much.

"In that case, let's all perish together." Taishang roared, vanishing like chaos—or rather, heading to another place.

"You sly Taishang, I underestimated you." The Zhi Gao Shen sat up straight, all turning their gazes, their eyes nearly narrowed to slits.

Indeed, Taishang had gone to another place.

That place was a starry sky known as Zhutian, with beautiful mountains, rivers, and people.

No mistake, Taishang had crossed universes.

Theoretically, ordinary gods could cross universes, but only if the two universes were touching.

For extraordinary gods like the Zhi Gao Shen, they could force a crossing even if the universes weren't touching.

Regardless of the type of god, crossing universes was extremely dangerous, as it involved traversing the void with many hidden perils, such as the aftermath of a universe's explosion, which could erase a Zhi Gao Shen in an instant.

No one would risk their life unless absolutely necessary.

This time, Taishang, no longer a Zhi Gao Shen, had crossed universes effortlessly without them touching, and even pinpointed the location accurately, astonishing the crowd of Tiandao.

"Where do you think you're going?" Yongheng let out a cold snort, turning into light and following suit—it was a forced crossing. The moment Taishang crossed, Yongheng had locked onto him, so wherever Taishang went, Yongheng followed.

The Zhi Gao Shen all twitched their mouths.

These two seemed exceptionally capable; without Zhi Gao Shen status, they still crossed so smoothly.

But thinking about it, they understood. It was just that the two universes were too close, sometimes brushing against each other, making the crossing much easier.

Here, Yongheng had already arrived in the Zhutian universe.

In an instant, the fused Yongheng took on Ye Chen's form, meaning his consciousness was in control.

This was because it was Zhutian.

This was because he originated from Tiandao.

"Where is he?" Ye Chen murmured to himself. With Yongheng's vision on par with Huangdi, he scanned all of Zhutian but couldn't find Taishang.

"Is that a person?"

"Yeah, it's Ye Chen that guy."

"He seems different from before."

The emperors of Zhutian poked their heads out, peering through the void to see Ye Chen. His presence was too dazzling.

"Zhao Yun?" Qin Mengyao's jade lips parted slightly as she guarded the underworld, able to see Ye Chen through the barrier between the human and underworld realms.

From Ye Chen, she saw Zhao Yun's shadow.

"Where is he?" Ye Chen continued scanning; he had seen Taishang descend into Zhutian with his own eyes.

Boom!

Suddenly, a tremendous rumble echoed, shaking the entire starry sky.

Ye Chen said nothing, closing his eyes for a moment before abruptly opening them.

This time, he wasn't looking at Zhutian but at the Tianmo Domain—the earlier rumble had come from there.

As perfected Yongheng, he had the qualification to peer into the outer domains.

This was his first time glimpsing the outer domains: demonic energy rampant, even more terrifying than imagined.

With a quick glance, he nearly laughed.

Why? Because Taishang was in the Tianmo Domain.

Why there? Probably because Taishang's skills weren't up to par, causing a misalignment when he descended into the Zhutian universe, accidentally landing in the Tianmo Domain.

This was awkward.

"What the heck is this?" Vaguely, Yongheng seemed to hear the demons' shouts.

Then came thunderous booms.

No need to look; he knew Taishang was being hammered—it had to be by the Tianmo Huangdi.

As long as it wasn't a demon, the Mo Huangdi would beat anyone on sight.

This certainly brought honor to their universe; Ye Chen watched with satisfaction.

Taishang, however, was baffled.

He hadn't realized how different this universe was from theirs, with so many divisions—Tiandao wasn't Tiandao, and the cosmos wasn't the cosmos.

That wasn't the worst part.

The real issue was that he had misplaced his step and fallen straight into a pit.

How embarrassing!

Who knew what this dark world was? There was a Zhi Gao Shen there with a terrible temper.

Terrible meaning he attacked on sight.

And he was the one getting attacked. In their universe, Zhi Gao Shen couldn't join the fight.

All in all, the Zhi Gao Shen here had no principles.

What followed was extremely bloody.

The Mo Huangdi was fierce in battle.

Ye Chen had to give the Tianmo Huangdi a thumbs-up; it was incredibly glorious.

Pfft!

In the dim Tianmo Domain, Taishang's divine body exploded, nearly obliterated by Mo Huangdi's palm.

But his evasion techniques were extraordinary; he instantly escaped into the vastness.

Not to brag, but since arriving in this universe, this was his first time standing firm. If he had known there were so many pitfalls, he would have rather fought Yongheng to the death than face this shameless Zhi Gao Shen.

Outer universe. The Tianmo Huangdi frowned.

This guy hadn't fought in years; he was bored and went all out from the start.

He had overlooked the universe's origin.

Now, taking a closer look, oh? Not from our universe.

Interesting.

Mo Huangdi chuckled eerily and reached out with a hand. Since it wasn't from this universe, he had to capture it for study.

Taishang snorted coldly and crossed universes again, vanishing in an instant.

Ye Chen said nothing, his eyes following Taishang's path, darting left and right.

In a universe this vast, why did that guy keep jumping into pits?

And this pit was a big one—the legendary E'mo Domain.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

The booms started again; the newly arrived Taishang was getting hammered, this time by the E'mo Huangdi.

"Damn it." Taishang roared in fury, a soul-shaking bellow, and crossed for the third time.

His aim was still spot-on, though.

He had gone to the Tianmo Domain and the E'mo Domain, so why not visit the Shengmo Domain too?

The Shengmo Domain didn't have a Huangdi, but it had devastating killing formations linked to Tiandao. Any outsider would face thunderous annihilation, and the outstanding Taishang charged right into it.

Pfft!

That collision was brutal; he nearly turned to ash, mainly from being hammered by two Zhi Gao Shen earlier. His divine body hadn't fully healed, and that world-ending formation was terrifying.

"Damn it." The Tianmo Huangdi and E'mo Huangdi snorted coldly, both casting spells to locate Zhutian.

As Huangdi, they felt embarrassed.

A non-Huangdi like Taishang could escape to Zhutian, but they couldn't, because in this universe, Tiandao blocked the Tian, E, and Sheng domains, and outsiders like Taishang weren't affected.

They could cross to other universes and return, but no matter how they tried, they couldn't land in Zhutian.

This was the strangeness of this universe.

Perhaps it was due to a flaw in Tiandao, or maybe the ancient Tianting Nüdi's divine ability—they still couldn't crack it.

Ah!

Taishang howled in rage, his whole body aching. This universe wasn't just full of pits; it was one giant pit.

His first universe crossing, and everywhere he went, he got beaten.

Pfft!

When Ye Chen saw Taishang again, it was in Tianhuang. Who knew how he escaped the Shengmo Domain? He was horribly wounded, couldn't even stand steady upon landing, and spat a mouthful of blood with dramatic flair.

Boom! Rumble!

Perhaps due to Taishang's overwhelming pressure, it enveloped the universe, causing countless star domains to collapse and innumerable lives to perish.

"Return." Ye Chen said calmly, laying out eternal light across the seas and wilderness, reversing time. The collapsed star domains reformed piece by piece, and the perished lives were remade, as if nothing had ever happened.

"Where did this quasi-Huangdi come from?" The supreme beings of Zhutian gathered, but they could only watch Tianhuang from afar.

It wasn't that they didn't want to help; they couldn't get through.

The entire Tianhuang was shrouded in ages; who knew how many ten-thousands of years had passed? Even someone as quick as Renwang couldn't stop in time; stepping into that star domain instantly cost him ten-thousand years of life.

"So strong."

"Did Huangdi self-sever a strike?"

"Has Ye Chen's Yongheng reached perfection?"

The emperors chatted among themselves, straining their eyes until blood trickled from the corners.

Boom!

With a boom, Ye Chen vanished, taking Taishang with him, entering the Da Dao Taishang Tian. They couldn't fight in the starry sky; one clash would shatter half of Zhutian.
